Four Seasons in Japan

After achieving her most cherished dream, Flo feels empty, but a book she accidentally finds in the subway becomes a new source of inspiration. The text resonates so deeply with her inner experiences that Flo decides—at any cost—to meet the author, even if that means traveling to a far-off province, to a remote corner of the island.

In a distant province at the edge of the island, an elderly woman named Ayako waits every day for a visit from her grandson, who can’t seem to make it. She takes care of a cat she calls Coltrane and watches the changing seasons. But what will happen when her grandson—the one who dreams of becoming a writer—finally reaches her?

“Four Seasons” is a story that blends elements of a postmodern jigsaw puzzle with a powerful emotional drama, offering something special for every reader.

The work is called “an exciting, enchanting, and beautiful novel full of pain and tenderness…,” and its warm lyrical prose will surely appeal to all book lovers.
